How do isotopes of an atom differ? how are they the same?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: Isotopes of an atom are different because they have different atomic masses and different number of neutrons within their nucleus. They are the same since they will always have the same atomic number/number of protons in their nucleus.

Increasing the temperature increases the vaporization rate of a liquid because the excess energy is used to break covalent bonds

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False. The molecules of liquid are hold in the liquid state due to intermolecular forces or Van de Waals forces , without affecting the molecule itself and its atomic bonds (covalent bonds). When the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher , therefore they have more possibilities to escape from the attractive intermolecular forces and go to the gas state.

Note however that this is caused because the intermolecular forces are really weak compared to covalent bonds, therefore is easier to break the first one first and go to the gas state before any covalent bond breaks ( if it happens).

A temperature increase can increase vaporisation rate if any reaction is triggered that decomposes the liquid into more volatile compounds , but nevertheless, this effect is generally insignificant compared with the effect that temperature has in vaporisation due to Van der Waals forces.

CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2

yawa3891 [41]

The % yield of Ca(OH)₂ : 62.98%

<h3>Further eplanation </h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

Reaction

CaO + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂

mass CaO= 4.2 g

mol CaO(MW=56,0774 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{4.2}{56,0774 g/mol}\\\\mol=0.075$
